DuffMan (4241) - the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, CANADA - OCT 3, 2010
On tap @ Spinnakers (and apparently no longer retired!). Clear bronzey gold. Lightly toasty malts, mild fruit-kissed hop finish. Pretty straightforward, but nice enough for a good session.

CapFlu (3767) - Victoria, British Columbia, CANADA - JUN 17, 2009
(Cask) One time re-release in celebration of the brewpub’s 25th Anniversary. Pours a pleasant golden hue, thin white head. Light orange hops nose, English malt. Good hops bitterness, very floral finish. Oily elixir, honey and nuts. A good introductory beer to the BC microbrew scene. 7/3/7/3/15
